Hi,

I'd like to perform a concatenation on the default value in the <c:get

Is this possible ?

Something like:

<c:get select="$node/@name" default=("No name entered for "<c:get
select="$node/@tag" />) />

Stu:

Answer is "yes", but not the way you do it.

You cannot embed one XML tag inside another. Instead, you have to use a
"dynamic XPath" expression - an XPath expression between { and }. So, write:

<c:get select='$node/@name" default="No name entered for '{$node/@tag}'."/>

Paul,

Thanks for the two replies - excellent result.
I also assume http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath is a good source for reference
manual for this sort of thing
Thanks again,

Stu

Stu:

I refer to the functions section a lot. The rest of the document is
considerably less reader friendly.
